We've been doing a lot of things lately to get ready for baby donovan's arrival (which according to my last dr's visit, I shouldn't be surprised if it's a few weeks early...the baby is measuring in the 67th percentile!). This past weekend we spent the whole day on Sunday re-hauling the apartment to make it "baby ready". We're not done yet but made a nice dent (16 garbage bags of old clothes to donate!) We were trying to find a place to buy and move into a few months ago but never found something that would work for us in such a short time so we decided to stay in our current apt. It's a great place that we both love but has a couple of downfalls for a baby. No bathtub, we are on the third floor (lots of stairs!) and only 2 bedrooms....the cats will now be living in the kitchen, bathroom and hallway! The upside is it's cheap! and our neighbors who smoked a carton of cigarettes a day recently moved. So, I guess we will stay for a while. So after this weekend, the second bedroom(soon to be the nursery) is ready to be painted and decorated and filled with baby stuff. Thanks to Andrew and his cleaning frenzy, we also have a very clean apartment to bring the baby home to. We both have a weeks vacation coming up at the end of the the month to finish the overhaul...that and we plan on sleeping in every day because we know it will be many many years before we can do that again!

no bathtub...hmmm... i hope you have a really big sink ;)
you can get those plastic baby tubs to use for the first 6 months or so. They'll fit in a shower stall no problem. After that just take the kiddo in the shower with you. Who needs a tub?
16 bags of clothes - where did you put them all?
LOVE getting rid of clothes (and other stuff). Isn't it the best feeling?! And I agree - the plastic tub - we did it on the kitchen counter for many months - then you could do it in that tub in the shower for many more months after that. Buys you some time. So exciting!!
